To complement this first look, she wore a stunning Boucheron necklace from the “Histoire de Style” collection, which took 1,107 hours to craft.
The songs followed one after another, as did the outfits. To perform “My Heart Will Go On,” the iconic track from the soundtrack of the film Titanic, she wore a custom Schiaparelli ensemble by Daniel Roseberry, consisting of pants and a jacket with gold detailing—a creation inspired by an outfit designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1937. Then came the first notes of “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” and Dion shone even brighter. Slipping into a custom-embroidered dress designed by Sarah Burton for Givenchy, she appeared at the peak of her artistry, a look enhanced by a pink feather coat that created a moment of suspended grace worthy of Callas.
And then, the moment. The one everyone had been waiting for: “All by Myself.” And so Céline Dion began the final phase of her first Paris concert. She stepped forward in a creation by Alaïa, consisting of a sculpting bustier and a long, flowing skirt that hugged her curves. And the famous note arrived, too. Céline hit it before letting out a sigh of relief, almost suspended in that moment. After years away from the stage, the gesture was simple, yet breathtaking: Céline Dion is back.
